Our hybrid and synthetic pitches

Two hybrid grass surfaces and one fully synthetic pitch. On the hybrids, real grass grows through the Eco Pitch carpet. All three are built to stay open in winter. None of them uses rubber crumb.

Built from the ground up

A Hybrid Champion pitch is built in seven layers, from your own ground up to the grass.

Sand carpet with natural grass

The playing surface. The grass grows up through the carpet, which holds the roots so studs can’t tear the surface.

Hybrid Club goes over the pitch you already have. All Weather Match sits on our drainage system.

Pitch Refurbishment and Enhancement

Typically, pitches were constructed years ago with conventional drainage and surfacing. Wetter winters and increased traffic activity have created the need for partial pitch reconstruction, drainage and resurfacing of these key traffic areas.

Gaelic games

The small square

Frees, drills and a winter of training land on the same few metres. On grass it is mud by November.

With the roots held by the carpet, the square stays grass and recovers between games.

(Reconstruction patches are available with all of the Eco Pitch surface options as above.)

  1. The goalkeeper's box: with the drainage grids, a hybrid carpet and natural grass finish of 100 m².

  2. The greater goal mouth area: central traffic zone out to the 21, 200 m².

  3. The troubled drainage or subsiding areas: reconstruction for review.
